Adjunct CXL in this ex vivo simulation refractive lens extraction procedure seems to provide significant increase in corneal rigidity, up to +107%. These findings also support our previous reported work on laser in situ keratomileusis combined with CXL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
